    IS there a Fuel Price Increase!

    Am going away this afternoon to a 2 day shoot, (The Gumtree near Gunnedah)

    am I imagining this , I thought there was some sort of inquiry going on regarding fuel prices and the habit of the fuel companies to put prices up over holiday periods ( even though they deny it)
    NSW school holidays start after today, and it is a long weekend.

    Deisel prices at the servos in Lismore ( and we are on the queensland rate) have jumped up to $1.31 cpl ( 6 cents more than last weekend) even the independents. Has there been a world price jump or has my imagination taken over.

    The woolworths over this side at Joondalup put theres up yesterday from 115.9 to 134.9 strange coincidence? nah i dont think so... over here it goes up and down in week cycles raise the prices 15-19 cents then let them drift down again over a period of a week... im sure oil prices dont flutuate in that manner... so what else could it be?

    i notice also deisel is going through the roof! good job we get near on twice as much mileage as you v8 boys

    Thanks

    Steve

    Crude is quoted at $82.88 (a $US2.00 jump today) for November delivery and even though the Aussie dollar is at 88cents the cost of crude to the refinery gates is still up about 10% from a few months ago when the Crude Oil was in the $US60's range and the Aussie only in the $US0.70's

    So Yes there is a reason for high prices.

    However why that jumps this week before a holiday is for the ACCC's fuel price enquiry to determine.

    The ACCC's inquiry time has been extended to Dec,15.
    This will mean the findings will be announced after the election.
    If comrad rudd wins, it will be his problem.
    If honest john wins, it means, he wont need to do anything.
    No government would be silly enough to take on the oil companies.
    I could live with a horse and sulky again !
    Cheers, I think ?

    South Coast NSW, Batemans Bay and Moruya, yesterday were $1.40 cpl for diesel.
    Would it be a good idea for members of the forum to regularly post fuel prices in their area, that way if you're going away you will have some idea of fuel costs beforehand, maybe in it's own section, Regards Frank
